Valdez scores twice in victory

Box Score

WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel scored the final three goals of the game to tally a 4-1 victory over Albright in non-conference men's soccer action on Tuesday.

Carlos Valdez (Silver Spring, Md./Blake) scored twice to lead the Green Terror (2-1), who finished the game with a 19-6 advantage in shots that included controlling play in the second half and finishing with a 10-1 edge over the final 45 minutes.

Josh Linsmeier scored the lone goal for the Lions (1-3), answering an early McDaniel tally.

After Matt Mackenzie (Crofton, Md./Arundel) sent a ball across the front of the box, Raul Escobar (Silver Spring, Md./Blake) finished from the right side for his first collegiate marker just 2:17 into the game.

Linsmeier needed just 38 seconds to respond, putting a free kick on the back post that was corralled but the momentum of the shot took the keeper back into the goal, evening the game at 1-all.

Valdez broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, firing a shot from the right side for a 2-1 edge.

Escobar then found Kerry Shutt's (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg Area) head on a corner kick for a 3-1 advantage in the 55th minute.

Valdez made it a two-goal day, finishing from Micahel Thompson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) at the 62:00 mark.

McDaniel returns to action at home against Eastern Mennonite on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m.
